Well I just had a kick in the head. Just got downsized out of the company I have worked for for the last 5 years. we got bought out last summer by a larger corporate type and after all the promises of increased work we get **** caned this week. Three of us out of 10 in the shop and office are out looking for jobs. I gets harder at my age to find any work especially in the winter in Maine. Oh well I have time to work on my car just no money.

Interesting you should ask. I love the Roadster but the one thing it is not is a highway car. With the 5 speed it will cruise at 70 all day long but the noise and lack of heat and air makes it a real fair weather mile car.

I have always had good practical cruisers that I could climb in and take on vacation to Daytona if that is what I wanted to do. With that said, I would like to build another mild 50’s custom:

work? what's that? I go to work and then it's play time! Ok, getting a tax refund soon and a royalty check for a limited edition skateboard with my name on it. So I'm all jazzed up on deciding what's more important...cluttering the garage further with an english wheel, bead roller, and 4' brake, or.....get the interior and everything needed to finish off my 65 Mustang. Something about not picking up another project between projects rings a bell but it would be nice to start seeing parts being painted and with a good clear. The question on what to spend on reminds me of last year's 49ers QB situation...which good QB to start? It's a great problem!

I was thinking a little of both...the interior, seat cushions,door latch...ummmm-I have the list somewhere! That way I can get both and be flat broke again!

I will probably hold off on a deep throat shrinker but will keep an eye out on a deal. The thing was, they had a display model with no handle at the HF($85) by my house and if I would have saw the Lazze video on making tanks I would have picked it up right then and there. So after I see the video I RUN to HF and it was sold days prior in an outdoor sale...and outdoor sale I went to get an arbor. Never even went outside in the sale area but thought, "should I go see how much the deep throat is on sale now?", but at the time didn't realize deep throat shrinkers are good for making tanks. Missed out. Had I saw that video just as week earlier I would have been at the sale when it opened.
